It was a mere matter of time before the Beatles had to show up for a Bust Outs segment. Well, that day has finally come. Today, we are running through some stellar Beatles’ cover Bust Outs in video format. That’s right, you get a reprieve from from all that new wave, high-tech shit like Imeem and MediaFire. Today, it’s just good old fashion YouTubes of some incredible Beatles covers. Enjoy!

Yesterday - Ray Charles

Listening to Ray Charles take on Lennon/McCartney’s Yesterday, you can almost tell he is coming off the tail end of a China White bender involving a bevy of impure tour ladies. In other words, you can feel the man’s guilt. This performance takes place as part of a journey to Tel Aviv amidst visits to some of the holiest lands (Ray Charles: Soul of the Holy Land August 1973), where I’ve gotta believe he is in search of some redemption. Call me crazy, but during this heart string tugging rendition there’s some real weight on those shoulders.

Ray’s Yesterday actually follows a medley of Beatles covers, whereby he also has his way with other classics like The Long and Winding Road, Let the Good Times Roll and I Can’t Stop Loving You. Be sure to check ‘em out.
